Brotherly Love

“There’s a bond that brothers know, and it gets stronger as they grow;

A love that time and miles can’t come between, there will never be two closer friends;

They’ve got something special, it’s brotherly love.” – Earl Thomas Conley

 

God blessed my wife, Sherry, and I with two great sons. Three and a half years separate them, so when they were little neither one really had a lot to do with the other. Most of the time, Brett (my youngest) would do everything he could to pester Blake (my oldest). However, I never could have anticipated how close they would become in their adult lives. Both of them, as young men, have had to deal with their share of heartache, but through it all they have grown closer together. Each one has had their opportunity to have their brother’s back…and have never failed to do so. As a matter of fact, I am certain that the adversity they have experienced has drawn them closer together!

This week I have had the opportunity to spend some one-on-one time with each of them. I thank God for these moments and I am so very proud of both of them!
